I'm not a huge fan of adding options that are only for very limited
debugging situations, especially simple ones that can always just be
re-implemented during debugging sessions such as this one. Anyway, I'm
not opposed to adding the option since it's marked as unsafe anyway,
I'm just stating my general opinion. See more below.

Adding this code to the middle of a get_hw_state() if-ladder doesn't
seem to be the best approach. My suggestion would be to create
intel_setup_sagv() (or intel_init_sagv) and then call it from somewhere
(maybe the end of this function?).

Also, I915_SAGV_NOT_CONTROLLED is only used on Skylake. By setting
sagv_status to to you're making i915.enable_sagv behave differently on
SKL compared to "all the other" (aka only KBL now) platforms. It would
probably be better to have unified behavior, maybe by reworking the
I915_SAGV_NOT_CONTROLLED handling or just adding a new flag or
something else.
